SPECTRAL SOUND VOL. 2

January 8, 2009

Ghostly International’s dancefloor-oriented counterpart label Spectral Sound has been boggling minds and moving bodies for over eight years. Now, the mega-retrospective compilation Spectral Sound, Vol. 2 celebrates Spectral’s catalog of groundbreaking house and techno with standout tracks from each of the label’s first 50 releases. The compilation is sequenced chronologically, opening with Spectral’s first release – the razor-edged banger “Irreparably Dented” by a then-unknown DJ/producer named Matthew Dear – and progressing through James T. Cotton’s acid-house experimentation, Osborne’s smooth retro-disco, and Kate Simko’s elegant minimalism.
